News: NME Originals: Britpop

NME ORIGINALS: BRITPOP
NME ORIGINALS: BRITPOP (Aug 2005)
16 August 2005
www.nmeoriginals.comFollowing acclaimed volumes dedicated to The Beatles’ solo years, Punk, Goth, Glam and the New Romantics, NME Originals proudly presents Britpop. Covering the intensely entertaining period of British popular music between the emergence of Suede in the early ‘90s to our infamous front cover attack on the Blair government at the end of the decade, NME Originals Britpop celebrates the glory years of Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass, The Verve, Shed 7, Sleeper and The Spice Girls.
Reprinting – for the first time since their original publication – many interviews, reviews and news stories from the pages of NME and Melody Maker, Britpop is a blow by blow, hit by hit account of those heady years when London regained its place as the centre of the rock ‘n’ roll universe. Mile End, Knebworth, ‘Roll With It’ versus ‘Country House’, Euro ’96, Jarvis v Jacko… these are just a few of the legendary events captured within the 148 glossy pages of this mad-fer-it magazine.
Other characters who appear along the way include Gazza, Robbie, Chris Evans and, er, Menswear. It’s got nuffink to do wiv yer Vorsprung Durch Teknik y’know.
NME Originals: Britpop is out now.
